This article was originally published on www.si.com as Cam Thomas Fires Back at NBA Insider for Calling His Game 'Empty Calories'. Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas is firing back at criticism stating he is simply a "ball hog" and not a great passer.

NBA analyst Zach Lowe said, "The consensus on Cam Thomas — if there is one, and he's got some fans, and he's got some mega-detractors - but the consensus is kind of like Empty Calories Ball Hog." He's still a RFA and hasn't gotten close to a contract with either the Nets or another team this offseason, but the comments seem a little harsh.

The Brooklyn Nets and Cam Thomas are not in a “hurry” to agree to a new contract, with little urgency from either side as the shooting guard continues to navigate restricted free agency, per New York Post's Brian Lewis.
